Bachelor of Electrical Power Engineering

Electrical Engineering is the field of engineering that deals with the study and applications of power engineering, electronics, control systems, signal processing, computers, and, telecommunications. Electrical power engineering deals with the problems associated with electrical energy systems such as power generation, transmission, distribution and machine control, whereas electronic engineering deals with the study of small-scale electronic systems including computers, communication, and integrated circuits. The student joins the Electrical Engineering department as soon as he successfully completes 34Cr.Hrs of the basic subjects in the preparatory year (level 1).The student has to pass two years of study {equivalent to 70 Cr. Hrs}.of compulsory courses designed to provide him with a solid background and broad knowledge in electrical engineering .At the end of the two years (Levels 2&3), the electrical engineering student has to join one of the following two major specialization programs: 1.Electronics and Communication Engineering program, and 2.Electrical Power Engineering ,where he continues his studies to attain additional 72 Cr.Hrs. {Level 4&5}.
The first program gives the basic and advanced knowledge in the following domains: electromagnetic field theory, communication theory, advanced transmission techniques. The program includes as well the principles and practice of electronic devices and circuits. The second program gives the basic and advanced knowledge in the following domains: electrical power systems, electrical machines, power electronics, and renewable energy systems.

The department staff incorporates highly qualified professors graduated from distinguished Egyptian, European and Canadian universities.

The department possesses a set of advanced laboratories in different disciplines equipped with up to date equipment, instruments, and measuring systems

To study the Electrical Power Engineering program, the student should have a good background and fair preferences in Mathematics and Physics.
